Why have I only been sold the grave for a set period of time, I want it forever?

The law states that graves cannot be sold for more than 100
years. Ealing sells the lease for 30 years. At the end of that
period you (or your family) will be able to renew the lease at the
price applicable at that time. It is important to let us know of
any change of address so that you will receive the notice of
renewal at the appropriate time.
